Mr. Montgomery $130.60. This is
a big price, yet market conditions

If our farmers will go into tbe

A man must learn the business,

PRINEVILLE WILL
BE BUSY IN 1911
Lots of New Buildings
in Prospect
BUILDING MATERIAL SCARCE
New Sawmills will Help Re
lieve the Situation to
Some Extent.
Prineville expects 1911 to be tbe
greatest, building year in its history.
On January 6 property owcers
ol Prineville will vote on a new
school building. Tbe town has
outgrown its present quarters and
more room is imperative. It will
be made large enough to meet
school requirements for years to
come. Tbis will be good economy.
A ten-room brick or stone structure,
with modern equipment, would be
a great thing lor tbe city. The in
vestment would De a paying one
from any point of view. Such a
school building would cost some
where between 120,000 and 130,000.
We need it.
The Crook County Bank will
build a fine new home during 1911

Looking Last from th Courthou.e, Prineville, Oregon
Building and furnishings will cost
between 10,000 and 120,000. j
C. V. Foster has let a contract
for a $3,500 home to be completed
by March 1. Shipp & Perry have
the contract. . It will be on the
bungalow order and possess several
unique features. Cut red stone
steps will lead up to the large front
entrance. The pillars supporting
the porch will be of red stone,
trimmed with black stone. The
floor of the porch will be concrete.
The interior will be finished in
pine, oak and white enamel.
A new city hall is among the
buildingejn prospect for 1911.
A modern greenhouse will be
completed by C. W. Spring as soon
as glass arrives from Shaniko.
This business is no experiment
with Mr. Spring. He tried it last
year and so great was the demand
for hiB products that he could not
keep up with it. The new green
house will double his output.
Mrs. Maling's new brick will soon
be completed. It is a two-story
structure and will accommodate the
O. K. Market and the Pioneer
Cream Company on the ground
floor. The upper floor will be
given over to the Pictorium theater.
The plans have been completed
for the new Baptist church. The
work on the superstructure will be
taken up right away. When com
pleted this will be a native stone
structure, seating 250 persona and
will be the beet church building in
central Oregon.
The Shipp & Perry mill, which
has been purchased from the Oris
zley Lake Lumber company and
installed on the McKay during the
past two months, has already
started to saw, and will turn "out
about 10,000 feet of lumber a day.
This will all be used in the Shipp
& Perry yards in this city. Be
sides this amount, which will
total more than a million feet for
the year, this firm has a oontract
for another million feet from the
R. E. Jones & Company mill, and
Demaris & Som are under con
tract for the delivery of 600,000
feet, which will give this firm more
than two and a half million feet of
lumber for the market here. Be
sides this, the Demaris mill cut a
half million feet lor the retail
trade, and the Barney Brothers
mill will cut a million feet during
the year.
Barney Bros., who are operating
on upper Mill creek have let s
contract tor a million feet of logs
to be cut and put into tbeir pond
early io the winter. Tbe mill will
begin sawing for the season about
February 1.
A. H. Lippman & Co. have 300,-
000 feet of lumber on band. This
will be dried and ready (cr use early
in the spring. This firm bss a
mill of 20,000 feet capacity on Wil
low creek, where they will cut 2,-
000,000 feet during the coming
summer, and another mill will be
installed by there people on their
McKay holding., where they ex
pect to cut 2,000,000 feet more.
Pnneville-Redmond
Road Ready for Use
The Prineville Redmond road i
ready for travel. This is a road
almost in a straight line from the
top of the grade west ol Prineville
to thecorporate limits of Redmond.
The distance from tbe top of the
grade, which is a mile and a hall
west of Prineville, is sixteen miles
to Redmond, making a total dis
tance of seventeen and a half miles
from one city to the other. This
' . s - 1 , of,
is about four miles less than the
old Crooked river road and the
roadway is free from the rough
snd uneven places that are so
numerous on the old road.
At present the road is cleared to
a width of twenty feet and is
brought to a crown in the center
about ten inches higher than the
Bides. Only light ries are eoine
over the new road as yet, but as
soon as the surface ol the roadway
dries a little the travel will become
general. It will soon become one
of the best roads in the county.
The nature ol the soil through
which this road is built is such
that with very little cost, a road
second only to oiled or other pre'
pared surfaces is possible. This is
very important for several reasons.
It will be the road over which
many of the people who have busi'
ness at the county Beat will come
from the west side of the county.
It will be the shortest possible dis
tance from Prineville to the Oregon
Trunk railroad. Not only will the
distance be shorter, but the mail
supply which has never reached
Prinenille within less than thir
teen hours' stage drive, will be
brought here from Redmond in
from 45 minutes to one hour by
auto every day in the year.
This road cost the Redmond
Commercial Club $350, in return
for which they will secure the
travel from Prineville to the rail
road. It cost the Prineville Com
mercial club $150, and the county
$450.
"All roads lead to Rome," and
many ol them lead to Prineville,
also a number of them to Red
mond. Wanted.

NEW R. R. LINE'S

Cutt-Off to he Linked
THE TIME IS NOT TET KNOWN
Harriman System will Rush the
Work on Projects Already
Undertaken.
Construction of a new railroad
from Redmond, the terminus of the .
Descbutei line, to Odell, on tbe
Klamath-Natron cutoff, baa been
authorized by the Southern Pa
cific director?, was announced last
week by Julius Kruttschnitt, di
rector of operation and mainten
ance of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems, says the
Oregonian.
However, no definite time for be
ginning woik on the Redmond
Odeli road baa been determined.
Ii the meantime, tbe company
will endecyjr to complete as early
as possible all of the projects al
ready undertaken. A'l of the
present contracts on the Klamath
Natron cutoff, says Mry Kruttsch
nitt, will be completed before the
end of the present fiscal year
June 30 after which he will
recommend that the remainder of
the route, which . he viewed on
Monday, be contracted for and the
work finished with all possible
speed, so that the new 22-hour
schedule between Portland and
Sin Francisco cm be put into ef
fect at the earliest possibla day.

"The directors of the company .
have authorized, the road from
Redmond to Odell," said Mr.
Kruttschnitt, "but it is impos
sible to determine the time when
work will commence. Tbe road
will ultimately be built; that is
certain. It will open a rich coun
try that at present has no railroad
facilities. '
PMukilttio an twli.
With reference to the proposed
East and West lines from Ontario,
near the Idaho state line, to a con
nection with the Klamath-Natron
line, Mr. Kruttschnitt declares
that the possibilities for early con
struction were somewhat remote.
He expressed the opinion that such
a road eventually would be built,
however.
In the work through the De
schutes canyon, " he said, joint
trackage agreements had been en
tered into with the Oregon Trunk
Railway over some of tbe most
difficult portions. The Harriman
line has progressed ahead of that
of the Hill system in Borne places,
and the former line likely will ba
completed over the 137-mile stretch
from the Columbia river to Red
mond before the latter is finished
to Bend.
